I was a Hill staffer, half a lifetime ago. There were, of course, rules against this then too.
Here's the trouble: for most Hill offices, systems administrator is an entry-level position, the kind you take when you want to be a legislative aide but your parents didn't cut any four-figure checks lately. It pays poorly (in 1997-98, I think my yearly salary was $23,000) and they expect knowledge that could earn someone four times as much in the private sector. So it mostly comes down to how good a novice is at learning about online security on the fly. In most cases, the answer is "not good enough".

I doubt that they would admit to it if they were, especially so soon after the Mark Robinson Porngate scandal.

In fact, in today's digital world, even large companies and serious institutions, including banks, hospitals, and government agencies, are increasingly becoming targets of cyberattacks. Hackers often steal sensitive data such as financial information, customer data, and internal communications. That's why using dark web monitoring software is crucial for both individuals and businesses. For example, you can use https://www.immuniweb.com/resources/dark-web-monitoring/. It helps to identify compromised data, such as passwords or credit card numbers, circulating on the dark web before it can be exploited.
